On holiday in London
(1) 
Every year, millions of tourists visit London to see some of the most famous sights in the world: Buckingham Palace, the Tower of London, Westminster Abbey...
(2) The Tower of London is a building with a 1000-year-long history. Did you know that wild animals lived there until 1835? Today, the most interesting things in this museum are probably the Crown Jewels.
The city of London has other fantastic museums too. One of them is the Natural History Museum, where you can learn about the history of life on our planet. It is very popular, but the British Museum and the Tate Modern have more visitors.
(3) Tourists can also go for a walk along the River Thames or watch the Tower Bridge open for big boats.
The London Eye is by the Thames. It is 135 metres high, so you can look at London from above. If you do not want to go on a ride on this big wheel, you can also visit the Shard. The Shard is famous because it is the highest building in the United Kingdom.
(4) Another idea how to spend a day in London is to visit Camden Market. The market opens at 10 a.m. every day. People can buy almost everything, from international food or clothes to souvenirs, for example. If you can, it is best to go from Monday to Friday when the market is not so busy.
(5) After a day of sightseeing, it is a good idea to go to Hyde Park to relax. But Hyde Park is not only popular with tourists. Londoners go there to enjoy a quiet afternoon, have a picnic or swim in the lake, for example. Sometimes, famous bands give concerts in Hyde Park.
